"Pandey has been removed from the post as he had made some statements criticizing the party for the decisions taken at a meeting of its national executive at New Delhi on January 31," AAP state secretary Akshay Hunka said.

Pandey had applied for a ticket to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Indore constituency, Hunka said.

"No final decision about who would be given the ticket has been taken so far,” Hunka added.
